The author of one of the first Constitutions in the world is the Ukrainian political and public fiend Pylyp Orlyk. April 5, 1710 yogo boulo was taken over by the hetman of the Zaporizhsky Viysk. On the same day, Pylyp Orlyk announced: “The Constitution of the rights and freedoms of the Viysk Zaporizky.” In the United States, the Constitution was adopted in 1787, in France and the Commonwealth – only in 1791. Tsіkavy the fact that Pilip Orlik was born on the territory of Belarus – in the village. Oshmyansky district.
The Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk is an agreement of the Hetman of Viysk Zaporizky Pylyp Orlyk with the foreman and Cossack of Viysk (in the presence of the foreman and cossack of the constitution of Orlyk, having signed the Kosh otaman Kost Gordіenko), who signified the rights and obligations of all members. Consolidation 1710. Confirmation by the Swedish king Charles XII. Writing in Latin and Old Ukrainian. There are 16 articles in the preamble.
The naming of the document is the name of the Dogir, the rights of the right of the volumes of the VIISKAYA TOLED to the people of the Little Sorotsky Mzh Yasnovnoye Getman Filik Orlik Ta Mozh, the General of the foreman, and we call the ugly, for the ties of the Rules. »
The real strength of the Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk never came to fruition; But in history it has been lost like an original legal memo, like the first time in Europe, the obstructive possibility of founding a parliamentary democratic republic.
The original of the first side of the Constitution is collected from the National Archives of Sweden. The rest of the Russian document is at the Russian Sovereign Archives of Ancient Assets (Moscow) with the original signature of Pylyp Orlyk and the seal of Viysk Zaporizky.
How to lay down similar documents, wines are based on the preamble. Here, she plays an important role – її zmіst vіdbivaє political position of the state, the cultural life of our society, etc. The Constitution attaches respect to the campaign of the Cossacks, Zokrema, Orlik writes that “so the people of the fighting Cossacks, nicknames earlier as the Kazars, were raised with glory and honors, which were terrible for the Skhid Caesarean and other peoples …”.
Here you can add one obvious political metaphor – the maximum distance of the Zaporizhian Cossacks from the history of Russian statehood, in order to legitimize their sovereignty from the Russian kingdom in such a rite. Try to show your journey with the Turkic people of the Khazars and the necessary maximum distance of your culture from other similar words. Zahal similarly declared without proof not є. Accept it for that hour. In modern historical science, it is accepted that the similarity is related to why, that both the Cossacks, and the Khozars, as well as their attackers, lived approximately in the same minds, and, apparently, the system of their political and suspensory arrangement was approximately. Insha simply would not show up in such minds.
The head political ideology, like a red thread through the entire document, is the idea of freedom and independence of the Cossack people in the face of ignorance of the country-susides. Prote, here at the pragmatism by Orlik is not a vіdmovish – a bunch of Zhista Svobody of his own people Vin Seryozo Roddanism of the Moskvi, Oskilka, if they were sentenced by the Yakovіvіrtyv, Yagi, on the yogo dummy, they were forgotten by their own guarantor -soured. Ale, on the other hand, “after the death of Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Moscow, in various ways, tried to erode freedom and put a yoke on the neilnitsky …”, which is not far from the truth. In fact, for a short time the Viysk Zaporizky was changed to the status of a Russian vassal, the center in the name of the Moscow Tsars, having broken the borders of the Cossacks’ ability.
Possibly, on the side of Orlyk, it would be naive to think that Moscow was quarreling behind its ambitions with the number of Cossacks in the intellectual empire of Osman, to the point, to the point of speech, Bogdan Khmelnitsky could have come to the ranks of the various people’s choice. And the fact that even before the 17th century, Russia began to cultivate its imperialist ambitions, giving signs that the Cossacks did not have any sensation to follow the pretentiousness of the ruling elite of Moscow.
The next part is assigned to political and social norms, like Orlik bachiv necessary to establish it as a law. So, already in the 17th century, one can say that Russia was not an ally for Ukraine and its predecessors.
